At five minutes before 1 o'clock the legisla- tive proceedings were suspended, and a few moments afterward the Senate was announced, | and the Senators, leaded by officers, filed into the chamber. Senator Ingalls leaned on the arm of Secretary McCook, and Capt. Bassett carried the box egg 2 the re’ from the electoral college. ‘The Representatives remained standing until the Senators had taken the seats assigned them; and Senacor Ingalls, seated on the right hand of the Speaker, called the joint assembly to order. MR. INGALLS CALLS TO ORDER. Mr. Ingalls then said: “This being the day and the hour appointed for opening the cer- tificates and counting the votes of electors for President, the Senate and the House of Repre- sentatives have met together pursuant to the Constitution and the laws of the United States, If there be no objection to the electoral vote of the state of Alabama, the certificate will be read by the tellers, who will make a list of the votes there.” THE ALABAMA CERTIFICATE. The Presiding Officer then broke the seal of the certificate from Alabama and handed it to Senator Manderson, one of the tellers, who read the document in a clear voice. It was in due form, and showed that the ten electoral votes of Alabama had been cast for Cleveland and certificate gave in minute detail a of the meeting the electors in Montgomery, and contained the ballots cast by each elector for President and Vice President. It was ac- companied by a statement from the governor of Alabama certifying to the election of the electors therein pool ji Its reading eae fifteen minutes, ‘The reading having Wen concluded the presiding officer said: Following the precedents observed on former occasions, unless in any case there may be a demand that the certificate be reported in full, tellers hav- ing ascertained that the certificates are in due form and properly authenticated, will omit the executive certificate of the election of the electors and the preliminary and formal state- ment of the proceedings of the college. JEFF. DAVIS’ ONE VOTE FOR GROVER CLEVELAND. The certificate from the state of Arkansas was handed to Senator Harris, and he read that portion of it which certifies that the 7 votes of that state were cast for Cleveland and Thur- man. A laugh ran through the assembly when Senator Harris announced that “Jeff Davis (one of the electors) gave one vote for Grover Cleveland.” At the suggestion of Senator Ed- munds the work of the tellers was lightened by dispensing with the reading of any part of the certificate, and requiring them, after care- ful examination, merely to state the manner in which the votes had been cast. CALIFORNIA AND CONNECTICUT. The certificates of California and Connecti- cut were thus disposed of, MR. COX'S POINT. Mr. Cox, of New York, then rose and said that he desired to call the attention of the presiding officer to the language of the law of February 3, . ‘he presiding officer said that debate could only be had by unanimous consent. Mr. Cox replied that he didn’t desire debate. He desired to call attention to the langunge of the law on such reading of any such certifi- cate. The president of the Senate shall call for objections, if any, after the reading. The cer- tificate from Delaware was then read, and the presiding officer asked, “‘Is there objection to the electoral vote of the state of Delaware?” ae being none, the count was proceeded with, A SMILE WHICH BROADENED INTO A HEARTY LAUGH. A smile ran over the assembly when, by a slip of the tongue, Mr. Ermentrout announced that the electors of Florida had cast four votes for Levi P. Morton for Vice-President. The smile broadened into a hearty laugh when a few moments afterward Senator Harris, by a similar error, gave the electoral vote of Indi- ana to Grover Cleveland. It was some time before the laughter died out and he was per- mitted to correct his error. THE CHAIR'S REBUKE. The presiding officer then said: “The chair takes occasion to express his confidence that his suggestion that manifestations of applause or of disapprobation are expressly forbidden by the rules of both houses, and that they dis- turb the decorum of this great transaction, which is now proceeding in the presence of the representatives of the American people, will suffice to prevent a repetition of the disorder which has just occurred.” TWO CERTIFICATES FROM OREGON, The state of Oregon having been reached the presiding officer said: “‘The president of the Senate has received two certificates, and two other papers purporting to be certificates from the state of Oregon. As required by law, he opens them and delivers them to the tellers, who will read, there be no objection, only that which is authenticated by the certificate of the electors, certified by e governor of the state of Oregon to have been duly appointed in such state, as appears in the copy of such certificate transmitted to ae houses of Congress by the Secretary of Aftera pause Senator Manderson said: The tellers have examined the different certificates presented to them, and find but one in dupli- cate; thatis certified ¢ tnyes governor of Mr. Payne, from the committee on foreign relations, reported the joint resolution authorizing the heirs of Rear Admiral Chas. H. Baldwin to receive a snuff box set in diamonds from the czar of Russia, and it was passed, THE DIPLOMATIC BILL. Mr. Hale presented the conference report on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill, which was agreed to after a statement by Mr. Hale (in reply to a question of Mr. Sherman's) that the appropriation of half @ million for the protection of American interests in Samoa was retained, and that the appropriation of $100,- 000 for a coaling station at Pago Pago had been transferred to the naval appropriation bill, which had passed the Senate yesterday, Oth- erwise there were no substantial changes in the diplomatic bill, Lhe House bill granting to the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba railway company right of way through the White Earth Indian reservation in Minnesota, was reported and passed with one formal amendment on which @ conference was asked, A PENSION FOR MRS. GEN, HUNT. Mr. Manderson introduced a bill giving a pension of $100 a month to Mrs. Mary B. Hunt, widow of Gen. Hunt. Referred. NOTIFICATION OF THE COUNT NOT NECESSARY. On motion of Mr. Hoar, it was ordered that at five minutes before 1 to-day the Senate shall leave its chamber and proceed to the hall of the House of Representatives, there to take part in the proceedings for the ascertainment and counting of the electoral vote. A ques- tion had been raised by Mr. Sherman as to the omission of the usual notification from the House. but that was accounted for by Mr. Hoar on the ground that now, for the first time, the proceedings were provided for by statute, so that notification was unnecessary. ‘The Senate bill for the ascertainment of the amount of money expended and the obligations assumed, by the state of California, growing out of Indian hostilities was, on motion of Mr. Stewart, taken from the calendar and passed. DEPARTURE OF THE SENATE TO THE HOUSE HALL. In accordance with the termsof a concurrent reggiution adopted some time ago for the counting of the votes of the presidential elec- toral college at 1 o'clock to-day, the Senators, at five minutes before that time arrived, formed in a body in the Senate chamber and marched over to the House of Representatives, where the vote was ordered to be counted. As the hour of 1 o'clock began to draw near President Ingalls displayed more than usual expedition in disposing of morning business, and the last committee report having been received, he at 12:55 announced “the time has arrived for the execution of the order of the Senate.” Sergeant- at-Arms Canaday, at this announcement, took his station at the main entrance to the Senate chamber, and the Senators quick- ly formed in’ line, and, headed by Mr. Canadoy and the yencrable Captain Baesett marched in double file through the principal corridor to the House of Represen- tatives, and Senator Ingalis by virtue of his office of President of the Senate, walked ahead of his colleagues, but with this exception there was no order observed, and each Senator fell in line wherever he saw an opportunity. The rear of the line was brought up by Senators Chandler, Wilson, of Iowa, ex-Senator Ferry, of Michigan. and several of the principal clerks of the Senate. A squad of capitol police- men was stationed just outside the Senate chamber, and kept back the crowd until after the procession had moved toward the House. House of Representatives. President Cleveland's contribution to the ceremony of counting in his suecessor to-day was a pension veto message, which was read at the clerk’s desk inthe House before the Senators arrived to take part in the count. This char- acteristic act caused much comment on the part of members on the floor. It was 1 o’clock when the Senators, headed by President pro tem Ingalls, marched into the House. The au- dience for the ceremony was a long time ahead of him. All the galleries of the House except the executive and diplomatic were crowded when the House met at 12 o’clock, and the eople had been _ struggling at the ioors sometime before that. By good management on the part of the doorkeepers people were seated, as long as there were seats to be had, without confusion, except that of tongues. During the prayer by the chaplain of the House there was comparative quiet, but during the rest of the time until the joint ses- sion was assembled and Mr. Ingalls held the gevel, several thousand voices were impelled by several thousand tongues into a perpetual rattle. The big sofas and chairs from the jobby were placed in front of the Speaker's desk and all other available space was oc- eupied by chairs, Aresolution was adopted ADMITTING LADIES TO THE FLOOR, and soon many gay bonnets added color to the picture spread before the galleries. The gal- lantry of members was taxed when ladies began standing up about the aisles. When a woman fixed her eye on a seat and looked very hard the congressional occupant was much hardened if he did not grow nervous and finally give it up. The corridors in the rear of the leries wes® thronged with sight-seers, w! were contented if by rising on their tip-toes they could glance over the shoulders of the more fortunate rsons who had secured a foot-hold in the door-ways. At a quarter before 12 the assistant doorkeeper requested all persons not entitled to the privi- leges of the floor to retire, and the crowd in the corridors was augmented by a number of tragglers who had been lolling back in the seats of members lazily surveying the sur- roundings. Beside the Speaker’s chair was placed one for Senator Ingalls, who, as presid- ing officer of the Senate, was to preside over the joint assembly, and in the area in front of the clerk's desk were placed a number of richly upholstered chairs and lounges for the accommodation of the Senators. THE: 'S PRAYER, At noon the Speaker's gavel hushed the hum of conversation and the chaplain made the following invocation: God of our Fathers, as the Senate and the representatives of the peo- pie will presently assemble in Congress to an- nounce and record, according to peg oem vi Perry Levi P.

AScheme to Make Carr Governor and Wilson United States Senator. Special Dispatch to Tae EVENING STAR. Cuanceston, W. Va., Feb. 13.—While nothing in the regular course of proceedings has oc- curred to change the sitaation here, private information outlines a scheme to be adopted said to be due to the ambition of President of the Senate Carr and the ingenuity of Secretary of State Walker. This is the elevation to the United States Senate of Gov. Wilson and to the governorship of President Carr, and the re- appointment of Walker to his present lucrative position, each to hold the plum for two years. The consumation of this scheme is in the event of Gen. Goif not being able to qualify on the 4th of March. | The erratic course of Carr has been a source | of uneasiness to members of both parties, in as well as out of the legislature, It is known that Carr had promised to vote for Gen. Goff for Senator when his vote would elect. When, | however, a state of affairs exis' republican leaders to call upon hiz to fulfil his romise, he flatly refused. It is also claimed y democrats that Carr had promised une- ed which led quivocally to vote for Kenna, but on two occa- | sions he has declined to redeem his promise. Carr has apparently done all he can to prevent the election of Senator. <- ee UNIONISM A FOLORN HOPE. Chamberlain Says the Government Must Adopt a Positive Irish Policy. Special Cable Dispatch to Tae EVENING Stan. Lonpoy, Feb. 13.—The effect of the govern- ment defeats at Govan and elesewhere in Scat- land is apparent in Chamberlain's speech at Glasgow, where he declared that unionism is a forlorn hope unless a positive policy for Ireland supersedes the negative one and the govern- ment vics with the radical reform in Eng- land advocated by Morley and Giudstone. Chamberlain suggests free school subsidies and acrofter's land purchase bill, England and Scotland support the former. He says his American experience showed him that the common school system there is the glory of the country, aie TALK OF THE DAY IN LONDON, Cardinal Mannin Attacks Public Schools—The Uganda Revolution.
